[MV] BTS(방탄소년단) _ DOPE(쩔어)

BTS is a group with worldwide popularity.

When you want to fire yourself up while studying, their energetic songs are perfect.

Among BTS’s tracks, this one is a top recommendation when you want to ignite your motivation.

Included on the mini-album “The Most Beautiful Moment in Life, Pt.

1,” released in April 2015, it’s characterized by a driving, hip-hop-based sound.

Its message—depicting the determination to keep running toward your dreams while others are having fun—gives a powerful push to anyone hitting the books.

The music video, released in June 2015, is also famous for becoming the group’s first to surpass 100 million views.

Sharp choreography and a hard-hitting beat are sure to blow away your drowsiness.

Give it a listen when you want to boost your focus at a crucial moment.

Adore USEVENTEEN37rank/position

[M/V] 세븐틴(SEVENTEEN)-아낀다 (Adore U)

SEVENTEEN’s memorable debut song “Adore U” is also highly recommended.

Since it was first performed on the audition program, many people probably feel a strong attachment to it.

From a male perspective, the song praises the charms of the woman he likes.

It has relatively many rap parts, so if you’re good at rap, you can really showcase your skills.

Also, because the vocal range is steady and the flow isn’t quirky, it’s easy to sing, making it ideal for those who want to practice rapping.

An emotional dance number swirling with a heaven-and-hell-inspired worldview.

Released in June 2025 as the lead track of their 6th mini album, “DESIRE : UNLEASH.” It feels like a theme where irresistible desire clashes with melancholic emotion—the pain of being with you or without you.

Fusing diverse genres like R&B and rock, it condenses its universe into a brief 2 minutes and 20 seconds.

The music video’s cinematography, unfolding like rapid shutter clicks, is breathtaking.

You’ll be captivated by the visceral performance that hurls emotion at you—no wonder it sold about 1.89 million copies on release day.

NAYEON “POP!” M/V

Nayeon from TWICE.

While she sings catchy pop tunes as part of the group, her solo work maintains those pop elements while also incorporating hip-hop essences.

Among her songs, the one I especially recommend is “POP!” With its memorable chorus and poppy track, this piece is frequently used on Instagram and TikTok.

It’s sure to create a fun vibe in your Stories as well.
